SquidGuard Filter Whitelist: Domains work, URLs and RegExp Don't

aknisly · Nov 15, 2021, 6:26 PM

I've successfully learned and configured pfSense/Squid/Squid Guard enough to get whitelisting to work from the Target Categories>Domain List. But I'm not understanding why the URL list or the Regular Expression list aren't working in the same way. As an easy example, I've entered this url into the URL List: docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/packages/cache-proxy/squidguard.html and it gets blocked. When I enter docs.netgate.com into the Domain List, this and all other pages come through.

Here is my config:

}

}

And here is part of the block log after attempting to load this page:

Thanks in advance.
